Fun fact about Mario Circuit GBA, it actually WAS recreated irl for some live action Mario Mercedes commercials around the time they were initially added to MK8 as vehicles.
Would be funny if someone ported all the tracks into a realistic driving game like Forza or something and then actually tested how many of the tracks are possible.
Despite owning Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and having played the track multiple times, this is the first time I had heard excitebike arena was randomised... I never realised 😅
2:54 (gba mario circuit) should theoretically/technically be possible to drive on because if you look at the opening animation of the course,they raise that part of the track,so you could essentially just lower it back down and you'd be fine 4:14 Donut Plains (lake problem) amphibious vehicles/hovercraft exist that should be able to handle that (although any normal car would probably flood their engine attempting it) Edit : you should give the booster course pass a shot
For that second one in mario kart the vehicle they use are karts(duh), which usually aren’t amphibious because if we were being as accurate to the game as possible(still following safety regulations of the real world though) the kart can’t go underwater since the driver would have to be amphibious themselves if they didn’t want to drown
@@froggycolouring That water section is short and shallow enough that I imagine some vehicles could brute force their way through it… and you can hold your breath you know.
I feel a teirlist format based on how dangerous the courses are would work very well here. Also how the hell do you not have more subs this stuff is quality
I feel like some of the tracks you've discounted could actually be doable if built for motocross racing, as they usually have jumps along the track, including some fairly big jumps usually at a climax of a track (though I guess not usually a "long jump" sort of element).
@@snoozlewoozle Agreed, at least a couple of these tracks I was thinking "What about trophy trucks?"

Okay, HYPOTHETICALLY Ribbon Road could be possible…if you recreate it to scale IRL. Meaning it's a toy road. And you drive a toy car across it by hand.
Want to mention that in defense of wallriding in a car, there are downforce-heavy vehicles (like the McMurtry fan car) that could, given some design adjustments at least, drive on a vertical surface. Formula 1 cars have been shown to create enough downforce to drive upside down as well, and while not practical in any sense could provide a weird way to run some courses.
@@03luigi14 The half-pipes' anti-gravity is not the same as the anti-gravity used everywhere else. Hacking anti-gravity out of the game leaves the half-pipes intact.
@@harrybest2041 the actually function like anti-gravity and serve to make sure the player doesn't go flying into the sky so no, without anti-gravity they're not fully intact, yeah they work but not well
I feel there could have been reasonably capacity to define the vehicle as some sort of rally car that can do some of the medium sized jumps and glides. remember they can often add a catch ramp to jumps. and I think some level of partial or temporary submersion would also be fair. nothing world breaking, but something more than a ford focus with extra suspension yknow
Fantastic video! Really fun and snappy, and I love your sense of humour! And such an original and silly idea! I would definitely love to see one for the booster course pass and more videos like this
You know, I think the problem with the Rainbow Road take is that the whole premise of the video is based on gravity functioning normally, but it wouldn't function the same in space, so I could see it being easier to work for RR8
For electrodrome being named that, the definition of the suffix drome is “denoting a place for running or racing” and a lot of real life circuits use drome in their name including in other languages(autodromo hermanos Rodriguez is the first one I always think of)
Great narrative, great editing, and a great video overall. Surprised how little subscribers you have. Work on your thumbnails and you’ll blow up. Congrats!
most of the retro tracks being drivable is logical as older games didnt have things like anti gravity or gliders or underwater, I mean, even the jumps where sketchy on the more early mario karts, so they had to be drivable from the start
idk I think you're underestimating how much a two foot fall can fuck your car up, especially if you do a bunch in a row, music park at least is a hard no

the bike arena is basically just a dirt bike circuit so its definitely possible if you just drive normally on the track with stadium trucks for just dirt bikes
`10:15 This Rainbow Road could be safely driven on if neither kart nor driver require an atmosphere, but I'm afraid that driving on it is impossible otherwise.
@@livie1023 I couldn't say anything about clouds or hills in the SNES version of Rainbow Road due to not having played it before. Either way, it's **probably** not survivable for a regular person unless they had some sort of magical protection.

FYI: A "drome" is a suffix derived from the Greek word "dromos," meaning a running or a race course. In English, "drome" is used to denote a place of action, or a place for a specific activity. Examples include aerodrome (a place specifically designed for the landing, takeoff, repair, or storage of airplanes), velodrome (an arena for bicycle races), and hippodrome (an ancient Greek stadium for horse and chariot racing). So "Electrodome" wouldn't make sense.

I know that somebody did a few of the tracks in Trackmania. Wirtual made a video playing through them.
